Clos Sur Vivant

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Romanée-St. Vivant Pinot Noir 2007

Medium light garnet with wide light garnet rim . This is quite open and delicate on the nose , touches of rose , cranberry , raspberry and sweet strawberry , very pretty and precise . Some spice and earthy hints underneath . On the palate this is quite sappy with fine tannins and balanced acidity. Red cherry and raspberry fruits , floral and well balanced , quite delicate but certainly with enough intensity on the palate and a silky mouthfeel . This still comes across as quite fruit driven and very refined and balanced , with good freshness . Long red fruit driven finish , just some hints of earthiness , mineral underneath . Vibrant and bright . Drinking well but still with time to go , now and over the next 5 years or so . This doesn’t grow with time in the glass as much as the Richebourg , but still showed well over the 2 hours we had it open. — 19 days ago

@Andrew Cullimore Thanks for your note Andrew. I have this exact Cuvée and vintage and from your notes might leave it for 2 or 3 years.

'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay 1999

This is gorgeous. Lemon and stone. A touch of orchard fruit and a bit of salinity. Very balanced with acidity rounded into the palate. Great — a month ago

Special Club Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend 2021

9.5

Hébrart Special Club 2021 is exactly why hard Champagne vintages can be so compelling. Frost, hail, all the usual misery, and yet this wine came out nervy, precise and alive. No big ripe-year swagger here. — 2 months ago
